I have had these silver beads for a long time, but I couldn't get the look right for them. It was an accidental pairing with these gorgeous garnets that made the piece sing for me, the silver with the garnets is just stunning.

I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. Although I have created pieces that insert different stones or colours into the piece, I had to make this all black. It is now so glamorous I think it would grace any occasion, it has just enough subtly and sparkle to give you an air of mystery.
And I have a confession to make. 'Dark Night' does refer to the Batman film. Well, on their own, these little dark delights look like little bats!

As these are very delicate pearls, both in size and colour, I knew they would be overwhelmed with a heavy setting, so I went for a delicate setting that would gather the pearls together. You then get a delicate look, but blocks of colour.

I really wanted to create a special range of jewellery, and the most precious gems available were the obvious choice. However, as I wanted to create an affordable range, I wanted to distribute the stones within the pieces, while still giving them the maximum impact. This was partially inspired by some incredible 'triangular' stones I had found, that I wanted to use in a special a piece as possible. These became earrings in the Oh My! range.
So, I decided to use rock crystal. Because of the high-sparkle impact of the stones, and the refractive qualities, it takes the emeralds and really emphasises them to the max. I went for these larger rock crystals, and not the stones that inspired me as the original stones were very small, and have highly cut edges, making them perhaps uncomfortable to wear in a necklace, but perfect in earrings. I decided to not focus the emeralds in one area, either, distributing them evenly with the rock crystal so you get the colour right around the necklace. Stunning, and very exiting!

I had the idea for this piece after I created my Woven Silver Bird Necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22050.htm). I wanted to create a smaller version, and realised that by creating a nest to go with it, I could make a very unusual piece!
I wanted agate for the eggs, but found some Mookite instead, which I love. The nest is woven silver, but far more solid than the bird, giving the bird an airy, light look.
